British Champs Long @ Brown Clee - 3rd

Felt in control for most of the race except in the vague marshy area where I made most of my mistakes, one big. Third time through this area I just used the controls already found to get it quickly. It was a bit of a suck-it-and-see running wise. Felt hard work early but opened up on the long leg to 10 and felt better after that. Not fast, but running ok and felt there was still plenty in the tank when I finished. Mistakes:

5 - Overly conservative RC which was probably ~30-45s mistake and then lost 3mins in the vicinity of the control; just couldn't work this area out.
7 - 20s, control tucked away in a tiny re-entrant.
10 - 70s, it was in a newly forested area and hidden behind a massive felled tree which ran the length of the shallow gully the control was in so hid the feature too.
21 - 20s, slightly left on bearing.
22 - 50s, same vague area as 5. Used the lake to work out my position to minimise greater time loss.
33 - 30s tricky little area, small parallel error off a small spur.

shoes: Inov8 ORoc 280 (3)

Put orthotic in but was uncomfortable on the way to the start so ditched it at the finish. Didn't need it but slight strange feeling not having an insole.

Scottish Sprint Middle WRE

Very heavy legged but bar a miss at 9 (~50s), like most, it was going reasonably ok until I overshot 27. I ended up fighting through wind blow and seeing the finish directly below me - lost best part of 4mins here. Otherwise very enjoyable.

JOK Sprint chase final

Knackered, didn't have the legs. Same miss as everyone at 2 - GPS confirms it was in the wrong place. Dropped off the pack soon after, big mistake leaving 7 and slogged it home on my own to the end. Dropped one place so could have been worse.

Dark Thistle - short course at Craig a Barns

Steady from the start and on my own shortly after #1. Runners on the long converged at #4 led by Doug and I led the way for a while up to 6. Long runners went in a different direction after 7. First mistake at 8 losing ~1min on a boulder; wasn't convinced it was in the right place.

Steady on my own from here. Lost quite a lot of time on several controls after this. Was mainly hitting the controls fine by my line along the way was often off. Big mistake near the end losing around 4mins.

Despite resting yesterday, knee was uncomfortable early (definitely ITBS again today) and noticeably getting worse after about 20mins so turned and headed home. Had to do some run/walking on the return leg.

Getting very frustrated with this now, have been doing the strength training for several weeks with little progress, despite feeling a lot stronger. Its now nearly seven weeks. A few days off running totally is not something I have done yet so will do that to see if it helps?
